THE BLACK PANTER & HEROSTRATUS

PART TWO: BEST OF BRITISH

This week looks at the media with the cult low budget true-crimes re-construction movie leading up to the subsequent kidnap and murder of the heiress Lesley Whittle by Donald Nelson. BLACK PANTHER is an intense claustrophobic journey back to seventies England a brilliant piece of filmic history as well as a British cult classic. Next up is HEROSTRATUS Don Levy's surreal take on the power of marketing when a young poet hires a marketing to turn his suicide into a media spectacle, the film takes a reactionary twist in typical Levy style, a marriage of art and narrative and not forgetting Helen Mirren. With the usual free popcorn and rum.
